Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computing/Computer networking task force

Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

Draft:EEBUS

Dear all, I just started writing my very first Wikipedia article ever. However, I underestimated the complexity and was not aware of review processes. So it seems I should have added some metainformation so that my article shows up here or in a related project, if I get things right. So, how do I get the following article reviewed? Draft:EEBUS Is this the right project? If the official answer is that I cannot skip the (currently) estimated 6 months of review, I will of course accept this. But as a newbie this is a little frustrating right now. I appreciate your help! DrJHinker (talk) 07:10, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

@DrJHinker: Congratulations! It looks like you have it properly queued for review at WP:AFC. The AFC process is optional for WP:AUTOCONFIRMED editors. Once your user account is 4 days old and you have made 10 edits with it, you should be able to WP:MOVE your draft to mainspace yourself. The AFC process is valuable if you have a WP:COI or are concerned about your article being unceremoniously deleted due to issues that AFC reviewers can help you resolve. ~Kvng (talk) 00:27, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Verizon updates (5G)

Hello! I posted requests at Talk:Verizon Wireless and Talk:Verizon Communications to update Verizon's 5G efforts. The suggested updates might interest editors of this WikiProject. As I work for Verizon and have a conflict of interest, I ask others to review my work and make edits on my behalf. Thank you, VZEric (talk) 22:43, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

@Kvng: As you seem active in this topic, would you be able to review this request? Thank you, VZEric (talk) 17:30, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

Those are not articles I've done any work on previously. I'm much more active on technology topics than articles about technology companies. I have watchlisted these and will have a look when I get a chance. ~Kvng (talk) 18:19, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks! I appreciate any feedback. I saw that you were active on this Talk page, so I thought it could possibly interest you. VZEric (talk) 12:14, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

 Done @Kvng: Letting you know this is resolved. VZEric (talk) 16:24, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

IP over Avian Carriers

IP over Avian Carriers concerns joke RFC 1149 about using pigeons to carry packets. Should a photo of a dead pigeon be added (diff) as "An example of packet loss"? Please edit the article or comment at Talk:IP over Avian Carriers#Dead bird photo. A month ago, I semi-protected the article (now expired) and would like to stay uninvolved.
